Pistorius in court this morning
The South African Olympic and
Paralympic athlete appeared at the Pretoria High Court this morning to learn
his fate as the verdict is handed down in his murder trial.
Judge Masipa has found Pistorius
innocent of premeditated murder.
Oscar Pistorius's late lover
a cross section of people in court keenly awaiting the Judge;s verdict
"There are not enough facts to
prove such a finding", she said.
Pistorius, the double amputee who
became one of the biggest names in athletics, shot dead his model girlfriend
Reeva Steenkamp on Valentine's Day last year.
Pistorius denies murdering the law
graduate.
The state has been pushing for a
verdict of premeditated murder, which would have carried a sentence of 25 years
in prison. Pistorius says he shot Steenkamp in a tragic accident believing she
was an intruder.
South African Judge Thokozile Masipa
said there was "some doubt" a woman screamed on the night when Oscar
Pistorius shot dead his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp last year because of
contradictory witness testimony.
If you have been following this case
all the way, what is your take on this?
